Oat Lady Lnm Salt Cam,
Aaothsr Two PlnaUafcreUM.
On ibe way from her home in
Lenoir to Mil too, Florida, where
the goes to accept the position
of rice-principal in the state
school, Miss Madge White
stopped in Gastonia ooe day
last week to spend the time be
tween trains with hen friend
Miss Ida Pursley.
Thinking it would be per
fectly safe. Miss White left her
suit case at the station while
she was at Miss Parsley’s and
was greatly perturbed on re
turning to take the train to find
that the case and its contents
had disappeared. A thorngh
search was made and telegrams
sent to different points, but
nothing could be learned of its
whereabouts.
The matter was reported to
the police hot as yet no trace
of It has been found.
This is the second time with
in a few weeks that an occur
rence of this kind has happened
at the staition here.
Miss White’s name was plain
ly written across the top of the
suit case, which makes it all
the more probable that it was
stolen. Beside valuable
toilet articles, a prised silver
cap which belonged to her
mother, Is among Its contents.
Not many days ago a lady left
two fine umbrellas in the wait
ing room while she stepped ont
to the train to see a visitor off.
When the train palled ont, she
stepped back into the waiting
room to find her umbrellas, but
they were gone.
If these disappearances arc
dne to the thievish ness of nimbi eC
fingered loafers who hang around
for the purpose, it is only a
matter of a little tints before
they will be nabbed by the

not aware that the beef waa
spoiled, partook heartily of the
food and shortly became seriooe

at court Friday morning by tbe
State's acceptance of submission
by the defence to a verdict of

In drawing tba jury Thursday
morning, when tbe usual ques

men said uader oath that they

revelation of sentiment in favor
of tbe man wbo «u ou trial for
bis life. Bat s jury was finally
obtained—a jury of intelligence
and fine character. Thursday
afternoon was spent in examin
ing fiva or six of the State's wit
aeaaM. These told tbe story of
the shooting in tbe rear room—
tbe ware-room—of tbe store.
Brown and Kincaid bad come
In about the same time, Brown
in front.
"Here's a man," said Brows
to old Mr. Clark, tha dark, wbo
was waiting on two negroes wbo
wanted some flour, "who ac
cuses me of mistreating bis sis
ter and I did not do it."
Kincaid—Yon did do it. I
told yon as long as von came
there and treated my mster right,
yon could come os.
Brown—Yes. you told me that.
Kincaid—You didn’t treat her
right.
Brown—I did treat her right.
Kincaid—Yon didn’t, yon
lying—
Mr. Clark, seeing a pistol in
Kincaid's baud, implored bias
not tp shoot. As the pistol was
brought into position, Mr.
Clark threw up bis am and
the bullet entered the celling
overhead. Kincaid reached
around the large man and trad
four times, kitbag Brown, who
was a smaller man than bim.elf.
Kincaid then went out and sur
rendered himself, saying that
Brown had ruined bis sister and
that be had killed him—that
Brown had promised to marry
her and had married soother
woman.
The other woman, the bride
of an hour, was la court. An
other wife of Brown's was ■Iw?
in Dallas, and it was generally
understood that he had others.
At s conference oi the oppos
ing counsel Thursday night, the
State agreed to accept a verdict
of manslaughter, when court
convened Friday morning, Mr.
Clarkson’s announcement of an
agreement to thin verdict waa
by an appeal from Mr.
K. T. Canaler for clemency—an
appeal that waa strong, ar
gumentative, touching, and
Thera was something in this
brother’s devotion to this weak
sister that was akin to a mother’s
love. An afflicted child, a
stricken child, in a family circle
always draws from the mother a
peculiar measure of affection.
The stronger, more robust chil
dren would be prosed bv, that
the needy one might receive the
greater cere. It had been even
so *n this brother's affection
toward hit fritted sister.
The imwiMtliw
great, argued Mr. Caasler, while
• deep sad solemn etlllnesa pre
vaded the court room. When
little mote than a child, thia
statjer of Kincaid's bad been de
ceived by some bad maa. Her
brother bad takes her, a
motherless girl, with this stain
opon her, into hia own horns
sod own protection, and for a
namber of years bad carefully
guarded her. When Brows
came to aaa her. ha. was ad
vised of these things hot was
astared that if bis motives were
proper there would be no objec
tion to bis visits at the home.
Then came the rumors that
Brown was to marry another
woman. The sister, deceived
by Um, went to ber brother with
her disquieting Aran,. Brown
had promised to starry bar. 1
